Find experienced babysitters in Etna, OH

Hello! My name is Janiel, and I’m a caring, dependable, and energetic sitter with a genuine passion for working with children. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I love creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where kids can learn and grow. I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’m confident in handling emergencies with calmness and care. I have experience with meal preparation, light housekeeping, diaper changes, homework help, and bedtime routines. I’m also comfortable with pets, and I don’t mind lending a hand with school drop-offs/pickups or occasional errands if needed. I enjoy planning creative activities—whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, story time, or learning games—so kids stay entertained while also building new skills. Most importantly, I value open communication with parents and consistency with family routines, so you can feel confident your child is well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable childcare that gives parents peace of mind and children a safe, supportive, and fun space. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming a trusted part of your child’s life!

Hi there! I’m Salome, but everyone calls me Soul — and I wear that name proudly, because caring for children has always been where my heart feels most at home. I just moved back to my hometown of Columbus, Ohio after spending over a year in Atlanta, where I had the joy of working closely with an incredible family. For over 14 years, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from snuggly newborns to curious teens — as a babysitter, nanny, and after-school teacher. My experience spans infants, toddlers, and multiples, and I’ve also worked hands-on in schools, where I’ve applied my public health background to create safe, structured, and nurturing environments. Kids keep me inspired — their curiosity, creativity, and honesty remind me to see the world with fresh eyes. Whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative play, or maintaining your baby’s daily routine, I love finding ways to support each child’s personality and rhythm. My goal is always to meet them where they are and help them grow with confidence. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for children abroad through mission trips and community health work, experiences that taught me how to connect with kids and families from all walks of life. I’m comfortable with pets, speak another language, and bring a calm, joyful energy wherever I go. Most importantly, my goal is to serve as an extension of your family — not to overstep, but to honor and maintain your approach, creating a sense of trust, consistency, and care that helps your little ones feel right at home.

I have been working with children for about 9 years, first at a daycare (preschoolers and school age), then as a substitute teacher and now as a licensed teacher. I have experience with a wide age range of children (K-12). I also have tutoring experience and have a degree in English Literature. In addition to this, I also have experience with special needs and have been a teacher's aide (TA) in an autistic classroom. In terms of babysitting, I have experience with bedtime routines as well as working with multiples. I don't mind the presence of pets as long as they are friendly. **Note: I only accept cash or check payments**

Hi! my name’s Corlette! I am 22 years old and i go to OSU studying medical anthropology. I’ve worked as a lifeguard since I was 15 which has not only given me lots of experience working with kids but also means I am both CPR and first aid certified. Since college has started back up and I know a lot of grade schools are going online I thought babysitting would be a perfect job for me because I can help the kids with their school work while also working on mine! I am very active and would be happy to take the kids to any sports, activities, or run errands whatever would be convenient for you! I have class each morning at 8am and my last class finishes at 3:40pm M-F. I do have a 5 hour gap between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would be able to provide extra help 9:30am-2pm if needed during that time.
